[00:09.01]
[00:17.38]In death, you face life with a child and a wife
[00:21.12]Who sleep-walks through your dreams into walls
[00:25.35]You’re a soldier of mercy, you’re cold and you curse
[00:28.75]“He who cannot be trusted must fall”
[00:31.94]
[00:32.82]Loneliness, tenderness, high society, notoriety
[00:48.67]You fight for the throne and you travel alone
[00:52.58]Unknown as you slowly sink
[00:57.47]And there’s no time to think
[01:06.27]
[01:10.50]In the Federal City you been blown and shown pity
[01:14.24]In secret, for pieces of change
[01:17.55]The empress attracts you but oppression distracts you
[01:21.36]And it makes you feel violent and strange
[01:24.29]
[01:25.24]Memory, ecstasy, tyranny, hypocrisy
[01:39.94]Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss
[01:44.48]In the valley of the missing link
[01:49.01]And you have no time to think
[01:51.13]
[02:02.08]Judges will haunt you, the country priestess will want you
[02:03.68]Her worst is better than best
[02:08.88]I’ve seen all these decoys through a set of deep turquoise eyes
[02:14.65]And I feel so depressed
[02:16.86]
[02:18.88]China doll, alcohol, duality, mortality
[02:32.43]Mercury rules you and destiny fools you
[02:36.19]Like the plague, with a dangerous wink
[02:40.86]And there’s no time to think
[02:42.99]
[02:54.35]Your conscience betrayed you when some tyrant waylaid you
[02:57.19]Where the lion lies down with the lamb
[03:01.40]I’d have paid off the traitor and killed him much later
[03:05.00]But that’s just the way that I am
[03:07.82]
[03:08.77]Paradise, sacrifice, mortality, reality
[03:23.91]But the magician is quicker and his game
[03:27.40]Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
[03:32.63]And there’s no time to think
[03:37.92]
[03:46.63]Anger and jealousy’s all that he sells us
[03:52.04]He’s content when you’re under his thumb
[03:54.00]Madmen oppose him, but your kindness throws him
[03:56.77]To survive it you play deaf and dumb
[03:59.78]
[04:00.65]Equality, liberty, humility, simplicity
[04:16.21]You glance through the mirror and there’s eyes staring clear
[04:22.44]At the back of your head as you drink
[04:24.52]And there’s no time to think
[04:28.19]
[04:38.25]Warlords of sorrow and queens of tomorrow
[04:40.69]Will offer their heads for a prayer
[04:44.23]You can’t find no salvation, you have no expectations
[04:48.01]Anytime, anyplace, anywhere
[04:50.60]
[04:52.03]Mercury, gravity, nobility, humility
[05:07.33]You know you can’t keep her and the water gets deeper
[05:11.11]That is leading you onto the brink
[05:15.59]But there’s no time to think
[05:17.74]
[05:28.54]You’ve murdered your vanity, buried your sanity
[05:31.75]For pleasure you must now resist
[05:35.54]Lovers obey you but they cannot sway you
[05:39.24]They’re not even sure you exist
[05:41.78]
[05:43.26]Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism
[05:58.32]Fools making laws for the breaking of jaws
[06:01.93]And the sound of the keys as they clink
[06:06.83]But there’s no time to think
[06:08.49]
[06:19.95]The bridge that you travel on goes to the Babylon girl
[06:24.16]With the rose in her hair
[06:26.48]Starlight in the East and you’re finally released
[06:29.91]You’re stranded but with nothing to share
[06:32.61]
[06:33.92]Loyalty, unity, epitome, rigidity
[06:48.72]You turn around for one real last glimpse of Camille
[06:52.57]’Neath the moon shinin’ bloody and pink
[06:55.87]And there’s no time to think
[06:59.37]
[07:11.57]Bullets can harm you and death can disarm you
[07:13.23]But no, you will not be deceived
[07:17.09]Stripped of all virtue as you crawl through the dirt
[07:20.36]You can give but you cannot receive
[07:22.88]
[07:24.58]No time to choose when the truth must die
[07:32.19]No time to lose or say goodbye
[07:39.29]No time to prepare for the victim that’s there
[07:43.48]No time to suffer or blink
[07:49.72]And no time to think
[07:52.66]
[07:56.38]
[08:11.35]end
